Got a Minute? 10 Healthy Things You Can Do for Yourself Right Now!

My dears, how are you doing today? Are you stuck at the office? If you have a minute (and by that I mean 60 seconds--tops!), here's a list of things you can do to improve your health this very moment ...

2. Give someone a hug. It will boost their mood and increase the production of serotonin (the feel-good hormone) in your bod.

__3. Stand up and stretch.__Stretching is an instant energizer because it gets blood pumping throughout your bod.

4. Drink two cold glasses of water. Whenever I'm feeling completely zapped of energy, I follow my own favorite advice and drink two glasses of icy cold water and it always does the trick to zap the sleepy feeling--works better than coffee.

6. Call your doctor and make that appointment. What checkups or other health care appointments have you been putting off? Make the call right now!

__7. Open your window and let the air in.__Yes, even if it's cold out! Indoor air is many times more polluted than the air floating around outside, so throw open some windows and give your lungs some clean, refreshing fresh air.

9. Skip the coffee and sip some hot lemon water. I know, you probably think this sounds nuts, but if you get into the habit as I have lately, you will start to love it. Just heat up a cup of water and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice right in. Lemon has natural detoxifying properties, and fans of this odd beverage say it makes their skin more radiant and rids their body of icky toxins. I'm not sure I buy the latter, but I do think it makes me feel great. Try it!

10. Wash your hands. Have you been chained to your office all day, only escaping for meetings? Go give your hands a sudsy scrub--and throw in a little self-hand-massage while you're at it. It's relaxing and it can also rid your hands of germs that could make you sick.
